Fat Cat Music & Sound opened in Goldsboro in 2013 when founder Eddie turned his lifelong passion for playing in local bands into a full-service music destination. What started as one musician’s dream has grown into a trusted resource across two North Carolina locations, serving everyone from elementary school students to seasoned performers.

The shop’s technical team handles comprehensive instrument repair and service, treating every guitar, amp, and piece of gear with meticulous care. Their guitar tech expertise covers everything from basic setups and fretwork to more complex repairs, ensuring instruments play their best. Beyond guitar repair, Fat Cat provides essential orchestra and school band instrument support, making them a go-to for families navigating rental programs and students needing quick turnarounds on repairs.

The staff’s real-world gigging experience informs their approach to service‚Äöthey understand that reliable gear matters when you’re on stage or in the studio. Fat Cat also offers music lessons, band instrument rentals, and professional sound installation services, creating a comprehensive hub where musicians can find guidance, quality equipment, and the technical support to keep their instruments performance-ready.
